Trudon Altair Scented Candle

With the Altaïr collection, Trudon journeys to the desert and sand dunes: the woody, floral fragrance brings forward oud’s strong character mixed with the finesse of a warm peony.

The call of the desert

Sensual and opulent, Altaïr is a woody-floral fragrance: blending oud and peony, it offers a sensory immersion that brings forward the heat of the desert, its sandy winds and enveloping flowers.

Using warm and amber tones, the collection reinterprets sand dunes in a modern, graphic way: its design plays with sculptural light and golden-brown shadows, with shifting ripples on the desert surface and key geometric elements. Altaïr transports us to a majestic, dreamlike destination.

Created by perfumer Émilie Bouge (Robertet), Altaïr reveals a distinctive attraction to faraway lands: “I composed Altaïr as an opulent, elegant, nude and resolutely modern fragrance: the exotic, gentle and enveloping scent transports us to an imaginary destination,” explains the nez. Altaïr's woody-floral duality is immediately appealing: a warm peony blends with the strength of oud; it is further revealed by a deep, textured leather-suede note. “First, you feel the woods and then comes the soft peony: it brings out the fragrance’s rosy side and a beige-pink universe reminiscent of sand dunes. Altaïr brings together beautiful, timeless, raw materials (sandalwood, cedar, styrax, agarwood); although distinctive, all ingredients come together in a common chromatic universe. Altaïr is highly symbolic: it portrays the strength of wood and earth with the finesse of flowers”.
